A wonderful Island Vacation

I read allot of reviews on this property that raved about how great it was and some that were not so enthusiastic so I was a skeptical going into it. When we got there we were greated warmly in the Club Premium Lounge (Highly recomend this upgrade), We were shown to our room immediately and it was as described to the T. The resort was extremely clean and being cleaned at all times, the wait staff and room service were top notch and friendly, the pools were clean and well maintained, and the restraunts (excluding buffet) were wonderful. I highly recommend the La Comedie retraunt and the Chatuebriand, it was the best I've every had. All in all this is the best resort I've stayed at in my Caribbean travels which have included Cancun, Cozumel, Puerto Rico, and Jamaica. I will be back for sure.

For souveniers go to the Free Market right at the Adults Only exit on the beach. Much wider selection and lower prices than Hotel.

Living the dream

We spent a great day, the hotel amenities and the location are excellent, the best beach and very clean, the staff very friendly and helpful at all times and the food spectacular. Was our first experience of all inclusive and we return next year.

Amazing Experience at Barcelo Bavaro!

The buffets are all delicious, along with the restaurants. Everyone is so nice and welcoming. There is always an activity to do.. by far it surpassed anything I thought it would be. Definitely coming back to Punta Cana Dominican Republic very soon!! and staying at Barcelo Bavaro! WOW!!! :)

If you walk towards the left of the beach, there is about a 30 minute walk to a plaza that sells great souveneirs for great prices!

Family vacations

One Week with my 2 kids and wife, perfect location and good amenities. Beach, pools and fun are perfectly combined. Just the food (which is plenty and various) Was not excellent. Tip: There is a small water park Not included except for ClubPremium. Althought room Was clean, some pillows smells humidity.

Family getaway

This was my fourth time at this particular resort. We always go back because it's a great place to visit. But what we did not like about this time was the registration. It took too long, almost over an hour and a half. That's because now you go to one building and everyone register there. We were at Family Deluxe room and everyone from that building, from gulf room, junior suites and all the other ones go there to register. Before they remodeled it you went to your building and did not have to deal with the other guests registration. There were twelve of us and when we made the reservations to the restaurant they sat us in three different tables of four. They refused to put the tables together.

Not what I expected

Did not realize the massive size of resort. Staff and food quality both poor. Beach front, ocean and pools all great but tons of people every where. If looking for a quaint and cozy resort, this is not for you. property is its own city. rooms were great but could not adjust the air conditioner...was freezing the whole week.

Best Hotel In Punta Cana Hands Down!!

My husband and i travel a lot. The Barcelo Bavaro was one of the best hotels we have stayed in. The service was on point, the rooms where amazing, the food was like eating at a 5 star restaurant every day. Every night they had a different show. Every night! we were there for 11 days, the showes did repeat after a week. The drinks were good, the beach was so clean. We plan to stay there again.
